Education leaders from across Boston and Skegness came together last week to hear from Ofsted’s Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman, at the second Constituency Schools’ Conference, hosted by Matt Warman MP at the Giles Academy in Old Leake. Following the success of the first Constituency Schools’ Conference in 2017, this year’s conference gave head teachers and school+ Read More

The Government has invited towns including Boston and Skegness to bid for funding for town deals under its new £1.6 billion Stronger Towns Fund. Local MP Matt Warman welcomed the Fund, which will boost growth and give communities across the UK a greater say in their future after Brexit, and called on the Government to+ Read More

Dementia is a priority for the Government. In 2015, the Challenge on Dementia 2020 was launched and I know that the Government remains committed to delivering this. This sets out the vision for dementia care, support, awareness, and research to be transformed by 2020. I fully support the ambition to ensure England offers the world’s+ Read More

Universal Credit (UC) is the biggest and most fundamental reform to the welfare state since its creation. It is a modern benefit based on the sound principles that work should always pay and those who need support receive it. It is also fair to taxpayers. In 2010, the welfare bill cost each household £8,350. This was+ Read More

I do appreciate concerns which have been raised about UK aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and can assure you that the Government strongly condemns all forms of violence and incitement to violence.

When people voted to leave the EU, they did so in the knowledge that the free movement system imposed by the EU would end. The Government is clear that this means continued work+ Read More

I am aware of media reports about Pension Credit and Universal Credit, which have caused concern. To clarify, the change only relates to Pension Credit eligibility for couples and does not affect the State Pension Age. Ministers have explained that this will not be a retrospective change. Couples with one partner under State Pension Age+ Read More

I firmly believe that just one person without a roof over their head is one too many. It is vitally important that the most vulnerable people in society, including homeless people and rough sleepers, are helped to get their lives back on track. That is why I am pleased over £1.2 billion has been allocated+ Read More

I understand concerns about trophy hunting imports and I agree that it is important we protect endangered animals across the world. I am encouraged that the UK Government is committed to conserving the world’s wildlife. The wildlife trade is regulated by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, whose approach is to ensure that the trade+ Read More

I strongly believe that properly regulated private markets are the best way to meet the ongoing needs of water customers and the environment. I do not support re-nationalising the water industry and I am glad that the Government has no intention of doing so. Since privatisation we have seen £140 billion of investment in water+ Read More
